Original Abstract Submitted

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body including dielectric layers and internal electrode layers stacked together, and external electrodes. The multilayer body includes an inner layer portion and outer layer portions in a stacking direction, and an electrode opposing portion and gap portions in a length direction. The multilayer body further includes conductor portions in the two outer layer portions in the gap portions, and each includes conductor layers stacked in the stacking direction. One of that conductor layers that is closest to a middle in the stacking direction of the multilayer body is closer to the middle in the stacking direction of the multilayer body than another of the internal electrode layers closest in the stacking direction to a main surface of the multilayer body.
